It used to be said that socialism could only work in the United States because the United States is the only place that can't be invaded by the United States, but then ICE happened.
To be fair, socialism already works very well considering the conditions of sanctions and siege, it just isn't a magic wonderland utopia like many westerners seem to think socialism becomes overnight.
The quote is referring to Iran and Chile, not Cuba or Vietnam.
